Quick-and-dirty command line access to useful parts of jira. Not at all stable and only ever used under cygwin.
Clone the repository and create a symbolic link to jiracli.py somewhere in your path.
Tell jiracli about your jira-installation:
$ jiracli config --global jira.url http://bugs.yourcompany.com/jira/
Optionally present yourself, otherwise jiracli will use logged in user name:
$ jiracli config --global jira.username eangelin
Optionally tell jiracli where to put an auth token from jira, so you don't have to type your password all the time:
$ jiracli config --global jira.token_store ~/jira_token
Now, cd to your project directory:
$ cd /source/abc_project/
Tell jiracli your default project when in this directory or any subdirectory is abc (jira project key):
$ jiracli config jira.project abc
Now, you should be good to go!
$ jiracli find open
If you use Jira 4.4.3/tomcat6 and keep getting:
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx cannot be cast to org.springframework.ldap.core.DirContextAdapter
... A workaround is to create a setenv.sh in your tomcat6/bin with the following contents:
#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_OPTS="-Datlassian.org.osgi.framework.bootdelegation=sun.*,com.sun.*,org.springframework.ldap.core.* -Dorg.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl.LIMIT_BUFFER=true"
You might also need to increase the permsize, "-XX:MaxPermSize=512m" for instance.
